I'll try to find an article describing what I think was the first attempt at amnesty by Bush.
I did find an article prior to 9/11 that is interesting. This article was dated 08/2001. Bush has been pushing this for years even after Mexico slapped him in the face regarding 9/11.

There is no doubt that Bush has been pushing for a guest worker program for years and it should come as no surprise. It was part of his 2000 campaign. What boggles my mind is that he is bucking his own party undermining its position in the process. He is also bucking American public opinion.
